6 »I am the Way,« replied Jesus, »and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
2 In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready a place for you.
36 Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
7 The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8 And if you are left without discipline, of which every true son has had a share, that shows that you are bastards, and not true sons.
9 Besides this, our earthly fathers used to discipline us and we treated them with respect, and shall we not be still more submissive to the Father of our spirits, and live?
10 It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character.
19 For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.
1 See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us –that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us– because it has not known Him.
1 See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us –that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us– because it has not known Him.
13 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
12 But all who have received Him, to them –that is, to those who trust in His name– He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.
20 And to our God and Father be the glory throughout the Ages of the Ages! Amen.
8 »As for you, do not accept the title of Rabbi,' for one alone is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.«
9 And call no one on earth your Father, for One alone is your Father–the Heavenly Father.
53 Or do you suppose I cannot entreat my Father and He would instantly send to my help more than twelve legions of angels?
32 He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
18 No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom–He has made Him known.
17 Every gift which is good, and every perfect boon, is from above, and comes down from the Father, who is the source of all Light. In Him there is no variation nor the slightest suggestion of change.
6 But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.
11 And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?
12 or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!«
29 Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.
30 But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.
31 Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.
4 And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice.
32 »Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the Kingdom.«
24 »Father, those whom Thou hast given me – I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory –my glory– my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.
15 You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being –a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons– a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, »Abba! our Father!«
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness, along with our own spirits, to the fact that we are children of God;
28 I give them the Life of the Ages, and they shall never, never perish, nor shall any one wrest them from my hand.
29 What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one.«
26 Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?
21 He who has my commandments and obeys them–he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him.«
27 »All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one fully know the Father except the Son and all to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.«
20 Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians.
21 Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose.
1 Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty.
2 »Honour your father and your mother« –this is the first Commandment which has a promise added to it–
3 »so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.«
4 And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice.
23 »If any one loves me,« replied Jesus, »he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
17 But, whenever you fast, pour perfume on your hair and wash your face,
18 that it may not be apparent to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.
48 You however are to be complete in goodness, as your Heavenly Father is complete.
15 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
